Real-time PCR is an important tool for life scientists looking to evaluate gene expression. While the chemical reaction underpinning the technique is relatively simple, real-time PCR instruments can be tricky to operate, thereby potentially causing more user errors. Many machines also require a dedicated external computer terminal for data collection, processing, and analysis. The latest real-time PCR systems are designed with streamlining the workflow in mind, offering features such as interchangeable blocks for more flexibility or built-in computers and touchscreens for easier operation.
